    Loving ChaLean! I'm finishing the second week of push circuit and I've definitely gotten stronger already. Feel free to add me, I'll support, help hold accountable & help motivate.

    You might consider PowerBlocks similar to her select techs but cheaper. You'll have a lot more range of weights for use between legs and arm exercises and you can increase as little as 2 1/2 lbs at a time.

    I just finished my first week of Push. I've learned that chest and bench press is my weak point. I gotta work on that.

    I have powerblocks, and although nice, I find switching weights between exercises a complete pain...It has inside weights that needs to go in and out in order to change the weight, and it takes time....
    I wish I bought the Select tech weights....

    Hello, I also started CX on October 1st. Feel free to add so we can motivate each other. Right now I am using 6lb, 8lb and 10 lb. Is that considered too light? I can see some of you are lifting way more than me.

    According to Chalene, you should be lifting heavy. Though, the term "heavy" is different for each person. In the Burn Circuit videos, Laylee's weights range from 3 to 10 lbs. As for me, for the burn circuit videos, the lightest I use is 7.5 and the heaviest is 17.5. But I've been doing a lot of strength training before I started Chalean Extreme. Hope this helps!

    Okay, the hamstrings were a little tight whe I woke up but not as bad as I thought....especially after how they felt last week. Anyway we walked 4 miles and I feel good. Plan to do my burn intervals and abs a little later. :wink:

    I'm really looking into ordering this system, how many different size weights do you need? Right now I only have 5, 10 and 15lb dumbells. If I invest the money into the system I won't really be able to get many more weights right away. Do I have what I would need to get started at least?

    Bxrlvr73 The weights you have right now will be good for now ..you may like to get a set in between the 5 and 10 though. I have been doing this program for 5 months and also use 20 pounds but really should get some 25's yet. Good luck!

    I started with the same ones you have. I bought 3s and 8s after a couple weeks. You might want 3s for the warm up weight for the Burn Phase and the Intervals DVD. I'm in Push now and I know I need 20s for my legs. 15s just aren't heavy enough.
